    I do, but to share would defeat the entire purpose of the deck ;)

    Ghost Window

    Is there a way to do this with less cover? I think the effect is really neat, but there is so much cover, you might as well turn your back. You have some fun ideas here!

    Knuckle-Busting Card Magic

    I'm sure you are already familiar, but I'd suggest some of Shin Lim's material. Some of it seems unattainable because of how knacky it is, yet he does it so well so consistently and the effects can be really strong. There's a penguin lecture available that's a reasonable price for a bunch of...

    Fiber Optics Moves Problem

    It's been a very long time since I've looked into fiber optics, however working with rope it's important to watch the tension in your hands. You are worried that you might drop it or that someone might see inside your hands, but you can relax, open your hand more and it will draw less suspicion...

    Breaking the Language Barrier

    When I was in Honduras, I found I was able to use most of the material from Wilson's On the Spot, coin work, and most of my card material. Simply avoid complicated plots and effects that take a lot of explaining or make use of verbal cues (like 2 card monte for example) I'm sure you will have...

    Theory11 Points

    Winning contests and publishing effects to the wire are the two fastest ways, however there a number of other ways as MrHurley pointed out!

    Making Room for the Shelf

    We are fortunate enough to have a great club that holds a swap meet. A great place to get rid of old stuff that you never use. You could also consider donations to your nearest magic club. They can use them as prizes or keep them as part of a general use library.

    Best Card Color Change ?

    I'm a huge fan of the twirl change, shapeshifter, and snap change. They all look so open and visual. As an aside, here's a recent thread on this topic: http://www.theory11.com/forums/threads/what-are-your-favorite-color-changes.38301/#post-428201

    A horse of a different color

    I find the area of psychological forces interesting and perhaps moreso the idea of equivoque. A simple place to tinker that has recently come out is thetalia by Ian Rowland. It's really fun to do a trick that you have no clue what will happen, but to roll with it. The more you perform effects...

    The Problem With a Five Star Review

    Interesting thought Josh, I wonder if there is a better rating system that would better reflect attitudes. Like a rating out of 3 (like, neutral, dislike) and a reason why. That way it's not about sort of good vs really good, but more about the reasons why people like it.

    How to choose a thumb tip?

    I agree about the color, don't worry too much. I think every time I order one it's a different color, yet even just at my last gig I again had someone say "Hey I saw a guy do that trick, but he used a fake thumb."
